I cannot answer for other religions, but......
I cannot answer all of this for other religions, but I think I can for my own. First of all it is obvious that that whole quote was meant to make creationists look bad. The whole Zontar thing was immature. My religion, (Mormonism) has a few extra volumes of scripture other than the bible that go into greater detail about all this, but I would rather try convincing creationist and atheist skeptics with the one scripture that we all hold common; the bible. In the John 10:16 of the bible, Christ tells of other "sheep", used in the context of people not of that land. This scripture can show how earth was not and is not the only planet that God created for his children to live on. The entire universe or the galaxy may be God's "real estate" in which he creates worlds for his children. And whether he created it all at once or a little at a time I don't know, but remember the scripture, "For with God, all things are possible." -Luke: chapter 1. And when it says God rested, perhaps it was not a long nap as the quote supposes, but more of a short vacation that God didn't neccesarily need. So although the quote is the stupidest thing I've ever seen, and although it is written by someone who clearly has an anti-religious agenda, it shouldn't blind anybody from the truth and it is incorrect.
